Sherbrooke Street in Montreal is an elegant shopping street, with fashionable boutiques and art galleries. It was the inspiration for this piece. This color-block tunic-length top is worked in stockinette stitch, using 3 colors, with the intarsia slanting at a diagonal. By using increases and decreases at either side of the color change, you get a crisp straight line for the edge.

The top features a deep U-shaped neckline, and a wide garter stitch border. Two side slits in the garter border provide ease of movement.The piece is worked bottom up, with gentle waist shaping.

This is a great project to learn intarsia, since there are very few color changes.
